![]() ![]() ![]() Hoping to keep them all together, Cedric invites Mary and Sara to live with him at his isolated estate where the trio find an oasis of freedom, safety, and first love. Tragedy leaves Sara-who is targeted by racist classmates and administration for her brown skin and Irish, German, Spanish, and Filipino ancestry-orphaned and penniless soon after, Mary is expected to leave for America to stay with a distant relation following her father’s death. While attending the Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentlemen in Victorian England, headstrong Mary, sensitive Cedric, and bookish Sara cling to one another to cope with their boarding school’s melancholy routine. Previous collaborators Stohl and de la Cruz ( Jo & Laurie) combine themes and characters from Frances Hodgson Burnett classics such as The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy in this theatrical mash-up. ![]()
